CMX: "We Will Sell No Manga Before Its Time"
Don't know if this is already common knowledge or not, but there's a
CMX mini-site over at DC
now. It's pretty sparse at the moment, consisting mainly of
descriptions of the
three previously-announced
titles
(complete with
interior
preview
art),
but there's also a little more info on some of the
upcoming
books, such as
Swan,
Musashi Number Nine,
The Devil Does Exist,
Gals!, and
Phantom
Thief Jeanne. There's also the standard comic company hype:
CMX is putting the extra time and energy into getting it
right. We're working with the best translators, some them hand-picked
by the creators themselves! We're using the latest hi-tech digital
production techniques and putting it all in a great package, because we
care as much about these books as you do.
In fact, some top manga creators — ones who haven't let anyone near
their work before — trust our dedication to their vision so much they
they picked US to bring you the first-ever authorized editions of their
work anywhere outside of Japan. Now, that's cool.
Whether you're a die-hard manga fan, a casual reader, or a first-timer
wondering what the heck you've got in your hands, we think you'll see
the difference.
Not only that, but CMX manga is so fine, so pure, so
sublime --
we think you'll be able to
taste the difference as well.
So EAT IT, Tokyopop, Viz, and all you other inferior manga
publishers! CMX is like a well-aged sake that delights the
palate, while your manga dishonors not only you but your ancestors as
well.
